Tokyo -- Sony announced on Tuesday that it plans to sell a networked broadband television in 2006 that will utilize the same "Cell" processor currently in development for use in the next generation of its PlayStation video game console, Reuters reported, citing an interview in Japan's Nihon Keizai Shimbun. Sony said the Cell processor, which will be up to ten times more powerful than standard chips, will begin a test production in early 2005. Sony has committed $4.4 billion through 2007 to develop the Cell, along with partners IBM and Toshiba.
